Re: Reds Sign LHP Will Ohman and Assign Him to Louisville

Nice to see Walt getting busy. It's a good Ohman, it could be Wuertz.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

He has a better career line against lefties than Bray does, though. If Dusty really wants a LOOGY, Ohman might be a better choice than Bray. That said, Ohman does seem quite susceptible to the long ball which is a bad characteristic in GABP.

Reds Sign Will Ohman
By Zach Links [July 21 at 4:44pm CST]
The Reds have signed left-hander Will Ohman, according to Assistant Director of Media Relations Jamie Ramsey (via Twitter). The 34-year-old will report to Triple-A Louisville.

Ohman was released by the White Sox earlier this month after being designated for assignment. In 26 2/3 innings for Chicago, Ohman posted a 6.41 ERA with 4.4 K/9 and 1.7 BB/9. The veteran likely came to the Reds at a reasonable rate as he will collect on the $2.5MM owed to him on the backend of his two-year deal from the ChiSox.
